Test Suites

📁 gpt5_nano_compatibility/

Comprehensive test suite for gpt-5-nano model compatibility and configuration validation.

Contents:

• test_gpt5_nano_compatibility.py - Primary compatibility test suite (5 tests)
• test_env_config.py - .env configuration validation (6 tests)
• test_direct_gpt5nano.py - Direct API testing
• test_gpt5_reasoning.py - Reasoning token overhead analysis
• README.md - Complete documentation

Run:

cd gpt5_nano_compatibility
python test_gpt5_nano_compatibility.py  # Primary test suite
python test_env_config.py               # Configuration tests

Status: ✅ All tests passing

What's Tested

OpenAI Integration

• ✅ API connectivity with gpt-5-nano
• ✅ Parameter normalization (max_tokens → max_completion_tokens)
• ✅ Temperature parameter handling
• ✅ Token budget adjustments for reasoning overhead
• ✅ Backward compatibility with other models

Configuration

• ✅ .env file loading
• ✅ Configuration parser respects environment variables
• ✅ Model selection from configuration

Models

• ✅ gpt-5-nano (primary, cost-optimized)
• ✅ text-embedding-3-small (embeddings)
• ✅ gpt-4o-mini (backward compatibility)

Functionality

• ✅ Embeddings generation
• ✅ Entity extraction
• ✅ LLM completion
• ✅ Full RAG pipeline integration

Quick Start

1. Setup environment:

   cp .env.example .env
   # Edit .env with your OpenAI API keys
   

2. Run primary test suite:

   cd tests/gpt5_nano_compatibility
   python test_gpt5_nano_compatibility.py
   

3. Expected output:

   ✅ Parameter Normalization: PASSED
   ✅ Configuration Loading: PASSED
   ✅ Embeddings: PASSED
   ✅ Simple Completion: PASSED
   ✅ Entity Extraction: PASSED
   🎉 ALL TESTS PASSED
   

Key Implementation Details

Parameter Normalization

The main gpt-5-nano compatibility fix is in /lightrag/llm/openai.py:

def _normalize_openai_kwargs_for_model(model: str, kwargs: dict[str, Any]) -> None:
    """Handle model-specific parameter constraints"""
    if model.startswith("gpt-5"):
        # Convert max_tokens → max_completion_tokens
        if "max_tokens" in kwargs:
            max_tokens = kwargs.pop("max_tokens")
            kwargs["max_completion_tokens"] = int(max(max_tokens * 2.5, 300))
        
        # Remove unsupported parameters
        kwargs.pop("temperature", None)

Why 2.5x Multiplier?

gpt-5-nano uses internal reasoning that consumes tokens. Testing showed:

• Original token budget often leaves empty responses
• 2.5x multiplication provides adequate margin
• 300 token minimum ensures consistency

Maintenance

When modifying LightRAG's OpenAI integration:

1. Run tests to ensure compatibility
2. Pay special attention to parameter handling
3. Test with both gpt-5-nano and gpt-4o-mini
4. Update documentation if behavior changes
